Boathouse Pulau Tioman Resort was officially opened on July 1 by Hotel Properties Limited, a property and hotel developer owned by Singapore tycoon Ong Beng Seng.
Due to its isolated location on the island, the only way to reach the resort is by ferry ride from either Mersing or Tanjung Gemuk, with options like Cataferry or Bluewater Ferry available.
The journey will take about two hours from Mersing and 1.5 hours from Tanjung Gemok, followed by a short speedboat ride from Genting Jetty.
The resort features 31 bungalows built in the style of traditional Malay houses.
Crafted from renewable and locally sourced timber, each bungalow echoes the rustic charm of a traditional Malay 'rumah.' This unique design offers guests a taste of the local culture while ensuring a comfortable stay, the resort said.
It has options such as deluxe bungalow, beachfront bungalow, beach family bungalow, beach house suite and 2 to 3-bedroom beach house.

Room rates cost from RM1,200 (US$255) per night.
Attap Seed Restaurant serves traditional Malaysian and international dishes using locally sourced ingredients.
The restaurant is equipped with wooden tables and offers direct views of the swimming pool.
The restaurant treats guests with Malaysian delights such as kaya toast and nasi lemak, or international favorites like eggs benedict and buttermilk pancakes.
In addition, there is a self-service teatime buffet, available daily from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
Tioman Island is famous for marine adventure experiences, so while staying at the resort don't forget to try diving and snorkeling.
The resort's experienced guides will introduce tourists to the island's famous spots such as PulauTulai, Malang Rock, Renggis Island, Marine Park, and more.
In addition, guests can book a round-island expedition which includes stops at Kampung Juara, Kampung Salang, Kampung Tekek, Renggis Island, and the Marine Park, where you'll have multiple opportunities to snorkel.
